what_o be_v acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n the_o next_o thing_n i_o shall_v touch_v at_o be_v to_o make_v some_o small_a reflection_n upon_o what_o he_o urge_v against_o we_o in_o his_o seven_o

which_o be_v infallible_a and_o as_o god_n spirit_n be_v infallible_a so_o be_v its_o teach_n and_o guiding_n now_o that_o g_z k_o as_o well_o as_o g_z w_n &c_n &c_n have_v write_v in_o defence_n of_o

conditional_o so_o far_o as_o they_o receive_v and_o be_v in_o unity_n with_o those_o leading_n teach_n and_o motion_n be_v infallible_a we_o say_v further_o that_o every_o true_a christian_n have_v a_o infallible_a knowledge_n and_o faith_n of_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o as_o to_o other_o thing_n he_o may_v err_v if_o he_o be_v not_o watchful_a to_o follow_v the_o infallible_a guidance_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n but_o if_o this_o author_n think_v he_o have_v no_o infallible_a faith_n or_o knowledge_n of_o any_o point_n of_o doctrine_n he_o be_v a_o mere_a sceptic_a and_o unbeliever_n for_o all_o true_a faith_n be_v infallible_a that_o which_o be_v allible_a be_v but_o mere_a opinion_n and_o conjectural_a likewise_o in_o his_o help_n in_o time_n of_o need_n he_o say_v be_v not_o you_o as_o bad_a mean_v as_o have_v as_o the_o papist_n who_o open_o affirm_v that_o you_o be_v hot_a lead_v by_o the_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o
